A private Helicro minivan from the terminal of Brussels South Charleroi Airport to any address in Ghent, including Gent-Sint-Pieters station costs a fixed 170€ for 1 to 3 passengers and 190€ for 4 to 8 passengers, per vehicle, in either direction. The 105 km drive takes 80 to 95 minutes outside peak hours, with luggage, child seats and VAT included.
Charleroi Airport has no railway station, so reaching Ghent from a Ryanair or Wizz Air flight means the Flibco bus to a city it may not serve, or a train with a bus connection at Charleroi-Central. A Helicro driver waits inside the terminal with your name, loads the luggage and drives straight to any address in Ghent, including Gent-Sint-Pieters station for a price fixed per vehicle, so a family of four pays 190€ in total rather than four tickets plus a taxi.
Every transfer is driven by Gerasimos or a licensed Helicro driver with more than 30 years of accident-free driving, in a Ford Transit Custom or Tourneo Custom for 8 passengers and 8 large suitcases. There is no night surcharge and no surprise at the end: the price you confirm is the price you pay.

Driver with a nice and clean car was punctual and courteous. Price was reasonable.
Very good experience. Nice driver, on time. 100% recommended
Excellent service and assistance.
Having Mr. Gerasimos waiting for me at the airport was incredibly reassuring as I was travelling with a lot of luggage and moving to a new environment. He went above and beyond, helping me with my luggage from the airport to my accommodation. His patience and service made me feel welcomed. Highly recommend.
